Rookies

This was baseball week in Western Culture class. It sounds fun, but actually, baseball has a lot of rules and if you haven't grown up watching and playing the game, it really is confusing. Chip did his best to teach and reteach and reteach.

Some students hit better than others.

But I'm not sure we ever found a good pitcher.

The outfielders needed a little motivation.

But with every run, there was much cheering!

Best moments:
1. Sunny running with the ball to second base and then handing it to the second baseman. To which I yelled, "Sunny, it would be faster to throw the ball."
2. Chip getting frustrated every time a student called a "run" a "point."
3. Jack running all the bases past his teammates on base (who were oblivious to the fact that they should be running, too).
4. Poppy getting almost to first base and realizing she was still holding the bat.
